Mexicana finally gone.
I see after nearly 2 years OneWorld has finally removed Mexicana (and Malev) from its website.
At least their logos from the home page - there are still links from the member airline page.

They did that when they added the airberlin logo. They are listed as "inactive members".

Even if it does return, the chances of it rejoining oneworld are slim, IMHO.
Kind of reminds me of the Varig situation with Star Alliance.

If MX comes back, they will most certainly join OneWorld. I imagine that they will initially come back as an associate member thus avoiding the larger costs of being a full member. American and BA will definitely want MX back in alliance.

The difference, other than the skeleton operation operated by GOL, is that Varig never actually came back.
